General & Family Physician,  's  Response
It appears to be a case of soft tissue injury, mostly a muscle pull.
I would recommend cold compresses with ice packs, over the counter pain killers ike Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen. Reduce movement of legs, especially running, climbing, cycling etc.
Also a visit to a physiotherapist is advisable.
Hope this helps, thank you.
